The ACC season kicked off for a number of teams over the weekend, as college soccer action continued across the country. The University of Maryland got its league schedule started right with a 2-0 victory over Boston College in College Park. The Terrapins face Duquense on Tuesday. Elsewhere in the ACC, Duke beat Virginia 1-0 in double overtime, while midfielder Michael Farfan scored the game winner as UNC beat NC State 2-1.
In the northeast, highly-ranked St. John's struggled in its two games of the weekend. On Friday night, the Red Storm couldn't defeat neighboring Stony Brook, drawing 1-1. Then on Sunday, St. John's tasted a 1-0 defeat at the hands of Boston University, a result that will likely boost the Terriers up the rankings. Moving a bit further north, the UConn and Dartmouth match ended in a 0-0 draw after double overtime.
No. 1 ranked Akron maintained their perfect start to the 2009 season, going 2-0 at the Bearcat Classic. Friday night featured a 4-1 win over High Point, and then beat Cincinnati 3-0 on Sunday.
Here are some updates rankings from Top Drawer Soccer and College Soccer News.

Fear the Roo.
Thank you so much for this update!
I really hope that the ACC will do well this season!
Go Lobos of New Mexico! a narrow 3-2 loss against Indi and a 2-1 win against Notre Dame, both on the road. They deserve to be ranked a lot higher than they are.
Bradley Braves make their way back into the national rankings after a 4-0-1 start to the season!
It’s gonna be a great weekend when Bradley takes down both SMU and Tulsa
I would like to see More of the Best talents together on the same teams. College soccer is too spread out for the players to have quality soccer every game.
USF going on the road to take some from a decent ACC team!
Go Bulls!
ACC is loaded.
Didn’t go to College Park.
Let’s go Terpies.
I like the college soccer coverage, Ives. Like it or not, we develop a lot of our national team players in the college game.
How do you talk about the ACC and leave out Wake Forest?
Go UCLA and Hartwick!!! 2 great D1 colleges, on both coasts.
what an awful-looking logo… was this done in MS Paint ’93?
